If you've been wondering how to hear from God in everyday moments, this one's a gentle, grounding place to start.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

    EP#375: How Do I Know It's Really God Speaking? - God Is Already Here

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about tuning your ears to God's voice.  Have you ever walked away from prayer wondering if you actually heard from God — or if that was just you? In this episode, Jen tackles one of the most common questions she gets about hearing from God and offers a grounding reminder: recognizing his voice is something you grow into, not something you arrive at. If you've been craving a deeper, more familiar walk with God, this is your practical and encouraging starting point.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Hebrews 5:13-14 "For everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil."

    EP#374: The Goal Isn’t Perfection. It’s Interaction - God Is Already Here

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about the art of turning a moment into a conversation with God. So much of our faith life gets tangled up in trying to do it right — but what if God is less concerned with your performance and more interested in your presence? In this episode, Jen opens up about how to hear from God in the middle of everyday life, from the kitchen sink to the carpool line. It's a gentle reminder that abiding in God looks a lot less like spiritual perfection and a lot more like staying connected through the small stuff.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with him, so let's experience more of it! Verse John 15:4-5   "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." Question God, what's something that you wanna draw my attention to? And then prompt my heart. How can I respond to you because of what I'm noticing? Quick Links 📘 The Captivated Playbook: How to Experience and Enjoy Reading the Bible 📱 Send Jen a text – Questions or prayer requests?
